Review of In the Heart of Yesterday (A Heart Story #1) by Jo-Anna Walker

Posted November 7, 2013 by Cassy Witthar in Reviews / 0 Comments

Jesse Dawson is a typical seventeen year old girl. She goes to school, gets good grades, and like any other kid, just wants to fit in, blend in and survive high school.
She doesn’t talk about all the crap she has to deal with. Her mom in the hospital and a step-dad from hell.
Rave Black sweeps into her life in the middle of the school year. He’s a dark loner. The quiet kid, and fascinates Jesse. She should stay away from him, but a budding friendship slips into a bond neither of them can deny.
Rumors spread even as they share their secrets with each other.
Can Rave help Jesse learn to open up and trust, or will his personal demons consume them both?

About the Author

Jo-Anna Walker

I’m a new self published author who just got introduced to the writing world early 2013. My aunt suggested that I write a story because I’m an avid reader but I waved it off and left it alone. Well this year, a story came to me and I went with it. It took me a little bit but I finally got a story idea that worked and now I can’t stop or control the characters/stories that keep popping up in my head.

I’m born and raised in Canada and I live with my very wonderful and supportive husband, Michael. We don’t have any children (yet) unless you count our cat. My hubby been my rock through this whole new experience for me. I couldn’t have done it without him and my friends and family.

One of the many things I love about this new chapter in my life is that I’m learning constantly. It’s never a dull moment and as long as one person likes my story, I am happy.

Carla’s Review:

I was given an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. In my opinion, this is a four star read. I would have given it five stars, but it was too short. Just as the reader starts to connect with Jesse and Rave the story ends. Jesse is living in her own personal hell. She is trapped living with her abusive step-father. Rave knows that something is very wrong in Jesse’s home life, and he is determined to help her. I really enjoyed reading about Jesse and Rave and the beginning of their relationship. I will certainly read the second part of this story to discover how their story ends. As I stated earlier this is a great book, but way too short!
Buy this at Amazon!!!
